Vol 2 Chapter 1149 Battleship Deliberation (Part 2)

1149. Deliberation of the Battleship (Part 2)

“Knight-class Star Destroyer?” Palpatine thought for a while, “If I remember correctly, this kind of warship has been produced on a small scale last year, mainly for use in several task forces.”

“That’s right, the Knight-class, a battleship specially designed for artillery combat. Based on a few battle data in the last year, I made the final revisions and finalizations of the Knight-class, and docked the Republic Sina Systems company. The latest battleship operating system has brought the Cavaliers to the standard for official mass production. This is also one of the issues I put forward for consideration today.” Lila-Blissex said.

As she spoke, she turned on the projection, and a huge, triangular wedge-shaped battleship appeared in the projection. The shape of this battleship was very shocking, and at a glance, people felt the terrifying oppressive force. Above the stern of the battleship, a huge monolithic bridge stands proudly, becoming the most obvious feature.

Gary-Ulan frowned, because he found that the shape of this Star Destroyer was exactly the same as the Victory-class Star Destroyer made by their Randili Star Dynamics! But the biggest difference is that the length of the Victory-class Star Destroyer is only 900 meters, while the length of the Knight-class Star Destroyer in front of you is an astonishing 1,600 meters!

“The Knight-class Star Destroyer is a warship design that puts ship-to-ship combat in the first place. It has 60 XX-9 heavy turbolaser cannons, 20 in the front and 20 on the left and right sides; 60 large ion cannons, 20 in front , 15 on the left and right sides, 10 on the rear; in addition, there are additional 6 double-mounted heavy turbo laser cannons, 2 double-mounted ion cannons, and 40 point defense laser cannons.” Lila said, “Knight class With devastating firepower, enough to destroy any battleship that appears on the battlefields of the galaxy right now!”

When she said this, her chin was almost up in the sky, and she was obviously very proud and proud of her ‘own’ design.

A simple and crude enlarged version of the Victory-class Star Destroyer, with more turrets, thicker armor, and larger reactors… Gary Ulan folded his arms and looked towards the Quarter Power Dock.

It just so happened that Little Quarter was also looking at it. Gary Ulan’s mouth twitched, he turned to an angle that Palpatine couldn’t see, and gave Little Quarter a thumbs down gesture.

At the same time, his heart is full of vigilance, because this also means the homogenization of the functions of the Knight-class Star Destroyer and the Victory-class Star Destroyer! If that’s the case, then Lundili Star Dynamics’ Triumph class…

“…But if I remember correctly, the Knight-class Star Destroyer should have no hangar platform, so the carrier-based aircraft is 0, is that so?” Schiff-Palpatine asked.

“Yes, the Knight-class Star Destroyer is used to deal with the separatist capital ships. Even the Separatist Xuanwu Titan battleship, as long as enough Knight-class is invested, it can deal a fatal blow to it!” Li La-Blissex said confidently.

“But there is no carrier-based aircraft at all, will this adversely affect the operation?” Palpatine asked again.

“Of course not, I have also fully considered the current situation of the Republic Navy. We have enough Chaser-class battlecruisers, and we have enough carrier-based aircraft protection. Therefore, the Knight-class Star Destroyer is a very targeted Fleet-type battleship! Not only that, but this is just the beginning. We are designing a brand new battleship – the Imperial-class Star Destroyer! This star destroyer will be more comprehensive than the Knight-class, equipped with a moderately sized hangar. ‘ Lila replied.

Next is a long data comparison and review of simulated combat records…

The result was no surprise. Schiff Palpatine was very satisfied with the Knight-class Star Destroyer. He praised Lila Blissex and the Quarter Power Dock on the spot. An order for 500 Knight-class Star Destroyers for the fiscal year!

The cost of a Knight-class, the price quoted by the Quat Power Dock is 140 million credit points! After cost accounting, the final approved order price is 122 million!

500 Knight-class Star Destroyers, the order price reached 61 billion!

In addition, the Galactic Republic military still placed an order for 600 Chaser class battlecruisers, but asked Lila-Blissex to reduce the cost of the Chariot class as much as possible, so that the Chariot class would gradually change. For the second-line support ships.

To put it bluntly, it is specially used as an aircraft carrier.

So in the end, the total number of these two orders alone exceeded 100 billion!

Looking at the smug smiles on the faces of Little Quarter and Lila Blissex, Gary Ulan really wanted to rush over regardless of his identity and punch each of them in the face!

After the day’s meeting, Gary Ulan returned to his mansion in Coruscant. First, he reported the content of today’s meeting to his father, Bangira Ulan, and then he connected with Willix – Newsletter from Blissex.

A tall but kind-faced middle-aged man appeared in the holographic projection. His hairline was a little high, and it seemed that he often stayed up late.

He is Willix Blissex, father of Lila Blissex, chief warship designer at Quarter Power Dock, now chief engineer at Lundili Interstellar Dynamics, and one of the best in the galaxy today. Battleship designer.

It’s just that his daughter Lila Blissex puts all his light on herself, making many people think Lila is the best.

In the end, the reason is that although Willix is ​​a genius, he is not good at using computers. This is a very big contrast, but he just can’t use these things at all. So when he designed the battleship, he often used a ruler, compass and pen to draw the design frame, and then instructed his daughter Lila to operate the computer for him to complete the design.

It turned out that his signature on the design was all his daughter’s name, but he didn’t care about that.

Later, Willix found out that the Quarter Power Dock was going farther and farther in the direction of killing with his own weapons, and his daughter was not tired of it. They only cared about how many people the warships they designed could kill, instead of going Concerned about ending the war.

Lila Blissex was also thinking about how to climb to a higher position and even become a member of the aristocracy.

So the father and daughter broke up because of this.

“Today Lila submitted the design of the Knight-class Star Destroyer on behalf of Quarter Power Dock for review, and it was approved.” Gary-Ulan said, “Then, there seems to be a version with an additional hangar called the Imperial class. I just can’t imagine how thick-skinned the Quarter Power Dock would be with the same design plus a hangar as two different warships to submit for review!”

“I know. Lila has the first draft of my Victory-class Star Destroyer in hand. With her ability, it is not surprising to design a larger and stronger Knight-class on this basis.” Willix-Bulley Sykes said lightly.

“I know bigger, stronger? Are you sure?” Gary Ulan asked rhetorically.

“Under the premise of not considering the cost, yes. But I have to say that the Cavaliers did not reach the performance limit that the size of 1600 meters and the cost of 122 million should have… Far from it.” Willix sighed.

“Compare the Victory class with a cost of 57 million and the Chaser class with a cost of 59 million. It is true.” Gary Ulan said, and turned to the next question, “Tomorrow’s meeting is to discuss the issue of Quart. A new type of fighter, the Alpha-3 Nimbus-V-wingstarfighter…why is this fighter named after you?”

“This is a commission from an old friend, and I cannot refuse. Jedi Master Sas-Tin, who is fighting the mysterious mechanical beings in the north of the galaxy, the Geth. Our pilots need a more powerful fighter to support them. The current V-19 fighter jets are no longer sufficient to deal with the Geth’s air power,” Willix said.

“Then why don’t you give it…” Gary Wulan swallowed the words halfway through.

That’s right, if this design is given to Lundili, then the result is likely to be in vain, so the front-line fighters can only continue to use the V-19 fighter.

In fact, Willix still has a layer of meaning that he didn’t say. The V-19 fighter has already fallen behind. Compared with the ghost fighters that have launched several follow-up models, from the A-type to the G-type, it is no longer an opponent. .

The Galactic Republic is in desperate need of a new fighter jet.

Gary Ulan sighed and said, “Promise me, there will be no next time, okay?”

“I’m tired of the intrigues of the Republic, and I really won’t do it again.” Willix-Blissex said.

“Therefore, there is no doubt that this new type of V-wing fighter will replace the V-19 Torrent and become the new main fighter of the Republic, which is another huge order… Referring to the order volume of the V-19 this fiscal year, we The official order for the V-19 is expected to be more than 100,000…” Galli-Ulan said.

“Is there anything else I’m interested in?” Willix obviously didn’t want to talk anymore.

“The Republic Sina system has come up with a plan for the TIE fighter, and it seems that this plan is supported by Quart… It seems that they have formed a strategic alliance…” Galli-Ulan said.

“The plan of the TIE fighter?”

“That’s right, the Republic Cina system is applying to the Republic for research funding of about 10 billion, and it looks like this number will probably be passed around 8.5 billion.”

“So, what about Lundili?”

Gary Ulan was silent, and after a long time, he slowly said: “It’s getting late, you should go to rest early, Mr. Willix.”

Turning off the communication, Gary Ulan walked to the balcony and looked at the bright night sky of Lausanne outside the window, his eyes and thoughts flew far away…

[Attachment 1 of the Easter Egg Chapter: Knight-class Star Destroyer, in fact, the appearance is similar to the Empire-class, mainly because the hull is slightly thinner, and there is no hangar hatch in the abdomen. To be honest, it is almost indistinguishable even so…]
